*Zoe* Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 (edited) Hi,I wanted a square headlight Ep82 before i had a licence but no way could i get one and afford the insurance at 17 so i went through a few before i finally got Emerald. And the list begins : Suzuki Vitara 3 door, Sudaru Sport Wagon, Civic ESI Hatch, Suzuki Swift, i also owned a fews other that shall not be named . I did a few mods to the cars but generally didnt have them long enough to do much.So i have had Emerald since April 09, and up to recently i have been fixing what i can when i can. She had been running nicely until this april when it was M.O.T time and she failed, so wasnt running to well after all. Thought this would be a good time to start a thread as i am starting to do more stuff and frequantly.So here is Emerald!!!Some pictures showing her squeeky clean, I\'ve also removed the aircon after a silly bint stopped infront of me without warning.... ...... I also restored the headlights. Also got a video of us profesionally removing the aircon .I want lots of goodies lots of plans .aircon removal video!!http://s972.photobuc...=P1010052-1.mp4 Edited November 21, 2014 by *Zoe* Quote Link to post Share on other sites

*Zoe* Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) Cheers Mac Little up date :i found the perfect steering wheel ... it was just right..Nardi grey leather and at the right price, BUT socks and adam talked me out of buying (booo and i would like to add just to put a bit of salt in the wound adam also bought a Nardi wheel that weekend)There was reasoning behind it and to an extent there right but logic and modding your car very hardly work together. i have decided tho to write a list so i dont get carried away...Engine bits:BreatherMushroom filterRelocation kit - air filterWater PumpMagnecor LeadsEarthing kitExhaustBoost gaugeOil temp gaugeOil pressure gaugeWide bandBoost controllerFront mountBreaksRam horn manifoldECUCivic radSlim line FanEngine mountsDecatExternal wastegateClutchFly wheelCatch TankOther bits:Alloys (15")GT Grillfront bumperSteering wheel - i want that Nardi!Buckets - ideally bridesnew doorsRe-spray custom paint Mod dash to hold dails were middle vents areThink thats all i can think of for now...lets see how much i can get done over winter Edited August 17, 2012 by *Zoe* Quote Link to post Share on other sites
*Zoe* Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 Hi!been a while since an update and had a few new things come in the last month, Magnecor LeadsNew plugs got these fitted the other weekend Water pump took out a wee bit to much Fitted this at the weekend ... now dont laugh ... took about 7 hours but i did it with adams help probably would of been alot quicker if i just let him do it but were's the fun in that. As well probably butchered the engine more then i needed to but i was trying to fit it without going underneath at first so took all sorts out that i didnt need to but did make it a lot easier in the end when it came to taking the old one off and ment i didnt get soaked. Also made a 'breather' for now as it started makeing a weird noise without one...microfiber cloths have so meny uses I'll get pictures up tonight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
